This Italian restaurant, located in the CBD, will be serving up your choice of cool zucchini basil bisque, served with Bellegarde Bakery bread, mini meatball sliders with side of cool pasta primavera, goat confit from Rockin R Dairy, served on balsamic dressed greens, and topped with candy cane beet slaw, and peach cobbler for dessert. Yum!
